Some mention
"Visitors consistently rate the park highly for its lake setting, well-maintained grounds, clean shower houses and abundant wildlife (especially deer). Common concerns raised in reviews include biting insects (ticks/chiggers), variable cell service, narrow campground roads and occasional noisy neighbors; many reviewers recommend specific sections based on whether you want quieter forested sites or closer lake access."

Best Time to Camp at Section 2
Plan your visit between April and October when the park is firing on all cylinders—that's when marinas hum with activity and the beaches are open for business. Spring and fall are the secret weapons here: you'll find perfect hiking weather, fewer crowds, and either wildflowers greeting you on every trail or those famous Ozark hardwoods putting on a color show that rivals New England. Summer belongs to the water lovers, with long, hot days made for diving off the boat and watching the sun melt into the lake—just remember your shade hat and plan your hikes for morning or evening when the Missouri humidity takes a break.
Lake activities and abundant shade make summer attractive to campers.
Wooded Ozarks and ridges likely provide good fall color and pleasant weather.
Spring brings pleasant weather, foliage and lake access, fitting this setting well.
Missouri winters are mild; fewer activities and campground appeal drop in winter.
